Sitting Out
Has anyone tried running a cash game poker league?
My group usually plays micro-stakes because some of us are not comfortable with the variance of higher stakes. Unfortunately, micro-stakes are a bit too low for many of us to take the game seriously, so I'd like to find some kind of balance where we can award prizes at the end of a season based on cash game performance. This by itself seems pretty straightforward, but I'm wondering if anyone else has had success/advice with something like this.
Most information I've found about poker leagues revolve around aggregating points through tournaments, with people playing cash games after they've busted out (but the cash games have no impact on the league itself). However, my group is too small (usually between 6-8 people on any given night) for us to quickly fill cash games, so when we play a single table tournament there's usually a bunch of people sitting and waiting for a while.
